At least it does for moz-1.9.2, I didn&#39;t try to build central in quite some time.<br />I&#39;m producing x64 binary components with the mozilla build system for an extension as well, building the whole of moz-1.9.2 in the process:<br />http://tn123.ath.cx/mintrayr/beta/<br /><br />To get a working build there are some patches required, many of which already have bugs filed.<br />Project (not mine):<br />http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Main_Page<br />Patch instructions:<br />http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Firefox:SourceCode<br /><br />Some things to consider for added benefit:<br />- Ship mozilla-runtime in 32 AND 64bit to support both 32bit and 64bit plugins<br />- what about js-ctypes? Would be great if those are invoked via a mozilla-runtime fitting the arch of the target<br />*nix could also benefit from these (no more x86_64 flash headaches :p)tn123http://www.blogger.com/profile/11085669750872355060noreply@blogger.com
